A wild night of weather was sparked by a large super cell thunderstorm which traveled from northwest of Grand Island to north of York. Along its path, there were numerous reports of funnels, large hail, high winds and even a couple of tornadoes. The tornadoes were recorded on video and digital pictures near Aurora and Stromsburg just after sunset. No damage was noted in either case. Earlier in the evening near Grand Island, numerous funnels and rear flank downdraft induced near surface circulations occurred. Strong winds near the airport destroyed a construction trailer. Minor damage was reported southeast of town. Near Marquette in Hamilton County, straight line winds destroyed an empty grain bin. Near the origin of the storm, baseball size hail was reported near Centura High School north of Cairo. There were numerous reports of hail large than quarters and wind gusts over 60 mph with the storm. Finally, on the flanking line, baseball size hail pummeled a car north of Minden and there was some minor damage to the lumber yard.
